I really don't want to hang up

Chapter 148 The Strongest Gladiator
Happy hour is always short.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

The Shenbang National Games, which Luden had prepared for a long time, was also held as scheduled.

Under the continuous bombardment of headlines from the Lucky Newspaper, the entire Divine State is discussing this matter.

In the streets and alleys, in the streets and alleys, as long as there are people, the 'fresh' thing of the sports meeting is the hottest topic.

It seems that if you don't talk about this topic, you can't keep up with the times and aren't fashionable enough.

For different target groups, Luden launched different publicity campaigns.

For the poor at the bottom, Lu Deng publicized that this is a good opportunity to turn around!
The champion of a single event can get a reward of 1 miso!

The runner-up is 2000 meters, and the third is 500 meters!

At the same time, Luden and Greedy Palace jointly developed the Shenbang Sports Lottery.

You can bet on the popular candidate, and if the opponent wins, you can win a large bonus!

There are various ways to play the lottery, which makes people dazzled.

The only certainty is: as long as 1 meter, there is a chance to win tens of thousands of bonuses!

These two items alone are enough for most poor people to go crazy.

For civilians and citizens of the Kingdom of God, Luden publicized that during the games, gladiator performances and opera performances would be interspersed.

free!

Buying tickets for the sports meeting is equivalent to [watching the sports meeting] + [gladiator performance] + [opera performance] + [chariot performance]!
Luden even developed a set of tickets with a unit price of 88 meters and a limited edition of 1 copies.

These packages are selling hot.It was sold out as soon as it was launched.

In Shenbang, there are still many invisible rich people!
To the Holy Family, Luden promised that the Holy Family could bid for the naming rights of the medals.

After several auctions, the Eugene family bought the medal naming rights of [The Strongest Gladiator] at a price of 18 miso. It is also the most expensive naming right and is valid for four terms.

For Shenbang, gladiators are the most concerned and sought after existence.

雅格家族以15万米索的价格，打包了100米、200米短跑，400米、800米、1500米长跑的奖牌冠名权。

The Yisha family won the naming rights of the javelin, discus and shot put at a cost of 5 miso.

Other holy families also bought some naming rights more or less.

The cheapest naming rights sold for 5000 meters, and the most expensive 18.

Before the entire sports meeting even started, Luden had earned millions of misos from the Holy Family and the citizens of the Kingdom of God.

Of course, the money is on the account of the Palace of Greed.

Judge Guruide was also very proud, and directly added the money to the budget of the sports meeting, and promised that all the income earned during the National Games could be added to the budget.

If the budget is not used up, the tribunes can submit a new budget processing plan, and the budget can be used as long as it can be approved by the justices and the Senate.

As for the exclusive right to report on the Games (four sessions), it was bought out by Lucky News at a price of 15 miso.

All the other newspapers think Lucky News is crazy!
That's 15 miso!
Even if all the citizen families in Shenbang have a newspaper, it is impossible for the Lucky Newspaper to pay back!

For Luden, in the short term, this deal must be a loss.

This is value investing!
With the development of Shenbang, the influence of Shenbang National Games will become bigger and bigger, and the exclusive report rights will become more and more valuable!

Luden plans to hold a sports meeting every four years, and the exclusive right to report twelve years later will definitely be worth far more than 15 meters.

This truth, other newspapers also understand, we are all smart people, of course, can see the value of the future.

It's just that they're out of money.

For the Holy Family, the newspaper office is just a new thing, give it a try.

If the loss is too much, it is better to withdraw the capital and stop the loss in time.

Today's newspapers are very difficult to make a profit, and most of the Holy Family are retreating. Even the persistent Holy Family can't spend a lot of money to fight for a future.

There is no such courage.

After all, they don't know whether there will be a National Games [-] years later, and whether their own newspaper will still exist.

After the funds were in place, the scale of the Games far exceeded expectations.

Just for the opening ceremony, Luden invited 44 gladiators to fight!

For such cruel things, Luden didn't like it, nor did he have a clear dislike.

However, people in this era like to watch it, and it is legal to hold gladiator fights, so Luden followed the public opinion to do so.

On the opening day, the Colosseum was full of spectators, even more lively than the National Assembly!

People don't necessarily like to vote, but people definitely like to watch the excitement.

Amidst the cheers that shook the sky, forty-four gladiators entered the arena one after another. They were tall, short, fat, and thin, with different shapes.

Some were holding spears, some were holding round shields and daggers, and some were carrying a huge axe.

Instead of fighting immediately, they spread out, flexing their muscles to the entire Colosseum.

The bronzed skin was exposed in the air, and the hormones began to stir. Before the wrestling started, the audience's emotions were ignited, roaring like wild beasts, and waving their fists.

When the gladiators stepped onto the sand arena, everyone bent down and kissed the arena, begging for the protection of the saint.

In this battle, only one person can survive.

Luden, who was sitting in the stands, yawned.

Sitting beside him on his left was Knight Elder Elder, and on his right was Legion Commander Pang Ge.

The three of them sat in the first row of the stands, but the surroundings were empty, only Awu was squatting in the corner, looking at everything around him with his eyes.

No one approached the three of them, and there were elite guards guarding them further away, full of murderous intent.

Senators, tribunes, generals.

These three are the three with the highest status and the most real power in the Kingdom of God.

Any mistake they make is a loss that Shenbang cannot afford.

In the high society of Shenbang, they dare not call these three people by their names directly, for fear of any offense.

As we all know, Pangge is extremely proud, Luden is small-minded and will take revenge, and Al is the only saint descendant named "Holy".

Any offense to the three of them would lead to a terrible disaster.

Therefore, these three people are also known as the Big Three.

The Big Three obviously didn't have much interest in the performance of the gladiators.

Luden said helplessly,

"I think it's not suitable for Awu's age to watch these things."

Al didn't express his opinion, but Pangge dismissed it,
"When a lion hunts, it calls its own young."

Luden was very strict, "The lions are all hunted by lionesses."

Panger: .
Anyway, Pong-ge insists on taking Ah-woo.

Although the reason he gave is nonsense:
'We need a slave to serve, but adult slaves are too dangerous for Luden. '

In fact, after a month of training, the hard-faced instructor admired Awu very much.

In addition to daily physical training, he even began to assign other tasks to Awu.

Ask him to learn the art of war, understand the operation of the legion, and be familiar with the combination of arms
Luden acquiesced in this regard.

In this era, there is no way to fight, and it is impossible to hold real power at all.

Even Luden has to choose Pangge as his ally, because big fists are the hardest truth.

It is precisely because of this that in the eyes of the high society in Shenbang, the Big Three are interest groups headed by Pang Ge.

Even the appearance of the Big Three was intended to help Pang fight against the Senate and strive for more benefits.

Lu Deng and the others didn't care about these rumors.

They just need to do their own things step by step, and time will give all the answers.

For Awu, the gladiator performance was indeed bloody.

Of the forty-four gladiators, only one survived.

Most of the people who participated in this battle were slaves, and the remaining half were people who made a living by it.

The winner will be awarded the title of [The Strongest Gladiator] in this National Games.

Forty-four people's gladiatorial, in the history of Shenbang, the scale can also be ranked in the top three.

Each person who plays will be rewarded with 2000 Meso.

The final winner, if he is a slave, can directly get out of slavery, obtain the status of a commoner in the Kingdom of God, and a bonus of 1 miso.

If you are a commoner in Shenbang, you can get citizenship!

Citizens of the Kingdom of God stop joking, no citizen of the Kingdom of God will become a gladiator.

The winner gets the name of the strongest and deserves it.

Originally, Pangge planned to participate in this gladiatorial fight.

Luden tried to dissuade him repeatedly before Pangge dismissed the idea.

On the one hand, it is because a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Participating in the gladiatorial competition with real swords and guns, in case Pangge is really killed, for Luden, the gain outweighs the loss.

On the other hand, Luden repeatedly urged Pangge.

The title of [Fastest Runner] is more important than [Strongest Gladiator]!
Pang should focus on the race.

Luden's reason is also very simple:
One or two thousand years later, people will definitely abandon the bloody and cruel sport of wrestling.

Running is the real king of sports.

Panger ultimately did not participate in the gladiatorial fight.

The bloodiness of the gladiatorial fight was beyond imagination, and some guys with weak mental capacity even vomited on the spot.

However, more people are cheering, roaring, and roaring to their heart's content.

They felt that this gladiatorial fight alone was worth the price of admission!
Every time a gladiator was killed, the cheers rose to the sky!

Death becomes a feast, and every spectator bears the burden of guilt.

This is the state of God.

Barbaric, prosperous, great god-state.

A slave gladiator with a short spear survived to the end.

He was red-eyed and tried to attack all creatures close to him.

Presenting the award to him was Pong Jager from the Jager family.

Pangge picked up a square shield, strode forward, blocked the opponent's attack, and easily pushed the champion to the ground.

Well, a special awards ceremony.

It's very pong.

Obviously, Pangge still felt a little resentful about not being able to participate in the gladiator competition.

He pressed [The Strongest Gladiator], casually hung the medal around the opponent's neck, and announced the birth of the first champion.

The champ, who regained his sobriety, gave up his struggle, and his tears fell into the mud, mixed with blood.

I don't know whether he is crying for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, or for his dead companions.

Pangge said a few words to him briefly, turned and left without giving the man a chance to answer.

Back in the stands, Pang shouted at Awu in the corner,

"I found you a new gladiator teacher."

A Wu was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that he would eat the melon himself.

"What's your gladiator teacher's name?"

Pang tried hard to recall the previous name,

"Oh, yes, Spartacus."
